SKU: AF-2168

Infrared (IR) break-beam sensors are a simple way to detect motion. They work by having an emitter side that sends out a beam of human-invisible IR light, then a receiver across the way which is sensitive to that same light. When something passes between the two, and its not transparent to IR,...

SKU: AF-5940 · MPN: ADA5940

This breakout uses Vishay's TSSP77038 infrared demodulator to give you the raw demodulated output from a 38kHz IR signal, without the extra filtering used in typical remote-control receivers. That makes it a handy choice for reflective sensing, light barriers, fast proximity detection, and modula...

SKU: AF-3930

This Reflective IR Sensor is a simple plastic casing with two elements - an IR LED and an IR phototransistor. You can control the IR LED and turn it on to bounce IR off objects to determine their reflectivity. White & light colored stuff will bounce the light, so  you can detect it. Black...

SKU: LB-LR0309-6

A matched pair of 5mm infrared LEDs — one transmitter (clear) and one receiver (black) — operating at 940nm. Use them to build object sensors, colour sensors, line sensors, distance sensors, and custom wheel encoders. Specifications Size – 5mm Lead Length – 37mm Wavelength – 940nm (infrared)...

SKU: DF-SEN0503

An infrared break-beam sensor pair for simple, reliable motion detection. The emitter sends a beam of invisible IR light to the receiver — when an object passes between them and breaks the beam, the receiver outputs a signal. Works up to 50 cm at 5 V with a fast response time under 2 ms. The com...

SKU: DF-SEN0523

This IR break-beam photoelectric switch detects objects by sending an invisible infrared beam from an emitter to a receiver. When a non-transparent object passes between the two and breaks the beam, the receiver outputs a signal. It works over distances up to 4 metres with a fast 0.5ms response t...

SKU: AF-5913 · MPN: ADA5913

The Adafruit STEMMA Reflective Photo Interrupt Sensor uses a TCRT1000 right-angle optical module to detect reflective surfaces. An onboard IR LED emits light, and when an object reflects it back to the IR phototransistor, the output pin drops from high toward 0V — making it easy to detect the pre...

SKU: SF-SEN-09299

The GP1A57HRJ00F is a slotted optical sensor (photo interrupter) with an infrared emitter on one upright and a shielded infrared detector on the other. When an object passes through the 10 mm gap between the uprights, it breaks the IR beam and the detector registers the interruption. Key Feature...

SKU: DF-SEN0280

The MB1360 XL-MaxSonar-AEL0 sensor features centimeter resolution and a 10Hz read rate, and provides short to long distance detection and range information from 25cm to 1068. This sensor has the widest and most sensitive beam pattern of any unit from the XL-MaxSonar-AE sensor line and includes va...

SKU: DF-SEN0347

This infrared photoelectric switch consists of a transmitter and receiver pair that detects objects at distances up to 1.5 m with a response time under 1 ms. The infrared beam provides stable detection regardless of ambient lighting, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use across a −20...

SKU: AF-388

Infrared LEDs are used for remote controls (they're the little LED in the part you point at your TV) and 'night-vision' cameras, and these little blue guys are high powered ones! They are 940nm wavelength, which is what nearly all devices listen to. They're 20 degree beamwidth, and work great ...

SKU: AF-3317

The Adafruit VL53L0X is a Time-of-Flight (ToF) distance sensor from ST that uses an invisible laser to measure distances from approximately 50 mm to 1200 mm. By timing how long the laser light takes to bounce back, it delivers precise distance readings without the linearity issues or double-imagi...

SKU: EF-EF04032

The Octopus Analog Photocell Brick is a light-dependent resistor (LDR) module from the ElecFreaks Octopus Electronic Bricks series. It uses a cadmium-sulfide (CdS) photocell that changes resistance based on ambient light levels — the brighter the light, the lower the resistance. With its 3-pin co...

SKU: AF-5990 · MPN: ADA5990

The Adafruit Infrared IR Remote Transceiver combines a high-powered IR transmitter and a sensitive 38 kHz IR receiver on a single board. With two 940 nm IR LEDs (one vertical, one horizontal) driven by an onboard N-channel FET at 100–200 mA per LED, you get 10+ metres of transmit range alongside ...

A pack of 25 super-bright clear green 5 mm LEDs with a narrow 20° beam angle and 8 000 mcd typical brightness. Ideal for indicator lights, breadboard projects, and anywhere a focused, high-intensity green LED is needed. Specifications Quantity – 25 LEDs Diameter – 5 mm Colour – Green (520 nm...

SKU: SF-COM-25893

This is a 5mm right angle light pipe to get the light of an LED out the end plate of an enclosure. We couldn't find a light pipe that fit all our needs, so we made it! This clip snaps over any SMD LED that is 1206 size or smaller. Addressable LEDs 2x2mm or smaller work great! The clip is easily i...
